nected telephonically with Cavtat on one side and Dubrovnik on the other,
through Dubac.
2. Cement bunkers armed with coastal artillery are located at Babiukuk Heights.
The zone is a restricted area and is surrounded by antitank mines. Bunkers
with antiaircraft artillery emplacements are located in the zone of Velika

jerna. Unmounted antiaircraft emplacements are located on observation posts
on the Srdj Heights. The weapons are stored in a wooden warehouse at '=rue.
The zone is surrounded with antipersonnel mines. Bunkers in reinforced cement

made larger in 1950. Four of these bunkers were recently rearmed with coastal
artillery pieces of 150 and 210 (sic) millimeter !s-a-V r. The bunkers are
reached by means of a recently repaired road. From Bjelinovo to Cape Pele-
grin the zone is a restricted area. Fortification work was recently completed
at which time the units of the engineer corps were transferred east of Maribor
on the Austrian frontier. Seven bunkers for coastal artillery are locoted on
the interior side of Cape Pelegrin, and a tunnel there serves as a shelter,
4. A new highway, which leads to Sv. Petar Beach on Cape Pelegrin, con vscts the
towns of Kuperi and Blato and joins the new highway between Dubrovnik and Kotar
Bay. Antitank defenses have been made ready in the Rijeka plains at the mouth
of a torrent, and are surrounded by antipersonnel mines. Two barracks are
being constructed along the highway just before the village of Kupari. These
barracks will house troops encamped there at the present time.
